All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

No red at all, rather -- unlike analog distortion, digital distortion is no bueno.

For anyone who might have an interest in checking my crap out.   Transferring from tape to digital has been cool, though challenging soundwise as some of these recordings are as old as 20 + years.    It's been fun though.  Smiley
